Bridget Litts, BS
Bridget Litts attended Syracuse University where she also worked as an undergraduate researcher at Upstate University studying embryonic left-right patterning and heart development using a zebrafish model. After graduating with a Bachelor of Science degree in Molecular Biology in 2014, she interned at Kentucky Equine Research where she studied the long-term effects of Lasix administration on exercise recovery in racehorses. She then joined the Davies lab at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital as part of a biobanking team that collected and processed samples from consented children undergoing bone marrow transplant. She became the point of contact for a collaboration with St. Jude’s, the childhood cancer survivor study, which involved isolating and banking DNA from thousands of saliva and blood samples. In 2020, she joined the Stafford Lab at Vanderbilt as Lab Manager where she studied the combined effect of high fat diet and moderate alcohol consumption on liver lipid metabolism.
